The Director of Marketing will own the full marketing function and build the engine that fuels ConexED's next phase of growth. This is a hands-on leadership role for a marketer who can set strategy and execute against it, turning pipeline targets, brand positioning, and market category leadership into repeatable systems.
You will own demand generation, brand, content, product marketing, and field/event marketing, working in close partnership with Sales and RevOps to drive qualified pipeline and accelerate deal velocity. You will be the voice of ConexED in the market and the architect of how we win against the competition.
This is not a brand-only or campaign-execution role. We are looking for a strategic operator who wants to shape go-to-market strategy, influence product direction, and grow into a senior marketing leader as the company scales.
We expect this person to be AI-native. ConexED treats AI as core leverage, not a side experiment, and the Director of Marketing will use tools like Claude across content, research, campaign production, and analysis to operate with the output of a much larger team.
